      Hi. We are a design/style LA based company specializing in mixing eclectic styles on moderate budgets. Also we have a strange amount of fun blogging about all our design and style adventures. Right now I’m happy to say that I’m Target’s home spokesperson, bringing accessible/stylish design to the masses.

The Fig House project, update #4

Big renovations, like raising children, are mostly fun at the very beginning and the very end. The ‘teenage’ years of both (or so I’ve heard) are best to just block out. At the beginning you are busy pulling together the art direction, trolling for inspiration, playing with color palettes, and prematurely buying crazy awesome pieces. It’s stupidly fun.

But then you get told that you have to move all the plumbing and that the electrical inspector is putting you behind two weeks and that the air conditioning is 10 times the amount of the original quote. And don’t even mention the word ‘permit’ on site. It’s all fine, doable, and par for the course, but the middle part of a major job is just full of logistics, coordination, codes, permits, and general annoying minutiae. Man, I hate minutiae.

Well, folks, we are through the teenage years of The Fig House project and I finally get to decorate. In case you haven’t been following along, check out post #1, #2, and #3.

So here’s what is happening, friends. We got us some dope art:

The Fig House art

These are just some of the artists whose work is showing at The Fig house, thanks to Daniele Krysa (aka, the Jealous Curator).

The mood board of finishes is getting solidified (although a few wallpapers from Farrow and Ball are missing on that bad boy):

The Fig House inspiration

Resources: Paint colors ‘Mere Green’ and ‘Teresas Green, ‘ both from Farrow and Ball. Lotus Wallpaper, Farrow and Ball. Hudson Valley Jasper Sconce (black) and Hudson Valley Cortland Sconce, both from LampsPlus. All the other pieces — mirrors, tables and molding are custom made, designed by me and my team.

Meanwhile I’m getting my flea market on:

The Fig house furniture

The vintage furniture hoarding is in FULL force. These beauties above are now at the upholsterers getting into some of the most delectable fabrics ever. About 15 more pieces are headed to get redone.

But that’s not even the best part. Stop what you are doing and marvel at the stained glass panels that we are having made by Judson Studios:

The Fig House stained glass

I’ve never been so excited about one single design element in a space I’ve worked on. There are 12 of them and they are incredible. That’s Tim up there, from Judson Studios, who was the designer that helped me come up with the design and color palette. Gosh darn genius, that guy.

In other news you’ll notice ON THE RIGHT SIDEBAR that I finally got my MailChimp account set up. So now friends, you can subscribe to to receieve the blog via email, subscribe to my newsletter where you’ll get some news that I’m too scared to post but don’t mind emailing out (curious … aren’t you?) and of course Feedly, Bloglovin, and RSS feed is all set up. If you have ANY problems with these please let me know so I can get them fixed.

So what ya’ll think about The Fig House? Get engaged again, folks, because this is the place to get married, folks.

Hello!

Emily is a stylist, author and T.V. host with a strong commitment to vintage inspired approachable home style for every single person. Perfection is boring; Let’s get weird. learn more

Interior Design Blog by Emily Henderson

I started this interior design blog in 2010 as a journal of my style and home projects with the belief that design should be approachable, informational and accessible no matter what budget.

As a home style expert who has a strong commitment to peeling back the intimidating layers of the world of home decor, and showing how every person can have a beautiful home that represents their personality, no matter what the budget.

After styling for magazines and catalogues for years, I started my own interior design blog, won HGTV Design Star, and have gone on to host my own hit TV show Secrets from a Stylist, Author the book STYLED, and create the design firm Emily Henderson Design.

My motto has always been to write and publish on my blog what I personally want to read about.

My interior design blog remains personal, totally transparent and honest - documenting both proud and embarrassing design moments/mistakes and giving real life pricing and expectations.

I believe that your home should look like you, that every room is soul-less without something vintage or antique. I also believe in having fun. Like, a lot of fun.
